The snow was falling, the sky was dark, even the birds were wailing on the bare branches, and the wilderness was desolate.

The puppet He Guangming happened to pass by, and saw a helpless poor little life, crying in this wilderness, if no one helped, this little girl could only end up with her mother. The spirit puppet He Guangming couldn't bear to come closer.

"Mommy, Mommy, you don't want to die, I won't let you die!"

The little girl cried out in tears.

He Guangming looked at the little girl who was lying on her mother's corpse and wept bitterly, he walked up to him and asked in a gentle voice:

"Why is the little girl crying?"

Seeing that this little girl was very pitiful, he wanted to help this little girl who had no one to take care of.

"Mom is dead, and no one cares about me anymore. ”

The little girl, weeping, replied. This six- or seven-year-old girl looked at He Guangming's spirit puppet, she thought she had met a kind uncle, but she didn't know that it was a spirit puppet.

He Guangming said softly to the little girl:

"Mom is dead, shall we bury her?"

He thought of a helpless little girl who could not live on her own in this wilderness, let alone bury her mother's body. So he was going to help the little girl dispose of her mother's body.

"Hmm!"

The little girl wept and nodded in response. Although she was very young, she knew that she had to bury her mother's body.

He Guangming wanted to know the details of the little girl's situation and asked:

"What's your name and where does your family live?"

The little girl replied with sobs:

"My name is Cen Xiaolan. Our house is far, far away from here, and I don't know where. ”

It turned out that Cen Xiaolan was brought out by her mother who fled the famine, and she was a six or seven-year-old child who didn't know where her hometown was.

He Guangming's puppet found a little girl in the snowy wilderness, Cen Xiaolan crying on her mother's corpse.

At this time, He Guangming Spirit Puppet continued to ask:

"How old are you this year, kid!"

The little girl replied, still sobbing:

"I'm six years old. ”

He Guangming wanted to know who was in her family, so that her mother's body could be buried in her family's ancestral grave. Asked:

"Is there anyone else in your family?

As a child, Cen Xiaolan had been sobbing and replied:

"Mom said no. ”

Knowing that Cen Xiaolan had no relatives at home in her childhood, He Guangming had no choice but to say:

"Then let's bury your mother first. ”

He Guangming found a place to bury Cen Xiaolan's mother in childhood, and after helping her bury her mother, he asked:

"Little girl, do you have any relatives? I can send you there. ”

Childhood Cen Xiaolan shook her head, but kept sobbing.

He Guangming wanted to take away the childhood Cen Xiaolan and let his disciples take care of her, and asked:

"Would you like to come with me, then?"

Childhood Cen Xiaolan nodded.

In this way, He Guangming's spirit puppet returned to the entrance of the Danyao Hall with his childhood Cen Xiaolan, and called some female disciples here to order:

"You take care of her, I see that she has a talent for alchemy, and I will teach her alchemy in a few days." ”

As soon as the disciple agreed, he would lead six-year-old Cen Xiaolan and arrange a room for her. When the sensible little girl heard that He Guangming wanted to accept her as a disciple, she hurriedly knelt down for the master and begged:

"Master, you can take me as an apprentice. ”

"Okay, good, boy, get up. ”

Seeing that Cen Xiaolan was so smart in childhood, He Guangming was very happy, and quickly helped the little girl up, even said good words, and accepted this six-year-old obedient child.

When she was a child, Cen Xiaolan asked her master:

"Master, what is alchemy?"

"Alchemy is to refine medicinal materials into pills with heart. ”

He Guangming's spirit puppet explained simply.

When she was a child, Cen Xiaolan asked her master:

"How do you care?"

"The mind is the mind, and the mind is the mind. ”

He Guangming spirit puppet explained to Cen Xiaolan for childhood.

Next, he asks in heuristic language:

"Good boy, when you speak, you can only say it after thinking about it. ”

In childhood, Cen Xiaolan replied to her master:

"I said it after thinking about it. ”

He Guangming continued to ask inspiringly:

"Do you think about things before you do them? ”

Childhood Cen Xiaolan thought about it and replied to her master:

"Yes, Master. ”

Cen Xiaolan returned to her place in childhood, and there was another little girl who lived with Cen Xiaolan in childhood, Cen Xiaolan told this little girl all the knowledge of alchemy and other things taught by her master, and this little girl was Du Kefeng.

Du Kefeng has been giggling since he was a child. Although she seems to have nothing in her heart, she is very intelligent, and she also has a great talent, which is the keen sense of smell, and the identification of herbs can be done by the sense of smell alone.

Although her alchemy was taught orally by Cen Xiaolan, and she had only said it once, she had learned the same as Cen Xiaolan.

He Guangming's puppet accepted Cen Xiaolan's apprentice, and wanted her to accept the test of the alchemist, but he only had Cen Xiaolan as an apprentice, and he had no right to recommend a single candidate, so he could only recommend two people at the same time to start the test.

When he was thinking about this matter, Cen Xiaolan told him about Du Kefeng. The problem of this candidate has been satisfactorily solved, and their alchemist test will not be a problem.

He Guangming's spirit puppet urged the contact information card to contact the bitter gourd machine spirit, and was approved by the bitter gourd instrument spirit. Take the two little girls, Cen Xiaolan and Du Kefeng, to the place where the alchemists of the Taixu Realm are tested, and let the two of them be tested together.

The two little girls began to be tested by alchemists in the alchemist quiet room where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant.

Since it was two people who were tested at the same time, there was no time limit, and it took two years for the two of them to pass the test of the third-grade alchemist at the same time. When they reached the beginning of the foundation building period, the bitter gourd spirit copied the puppets of the two for them at the same time. At this time, Cen Xiaolan was only fifteen years old, and Du Kefeng was just sixteen years old, and they participated in the eight-year test in the Dantang of Cangshengmen, and jointly completed the test of the four-grade alchemist.

After the bitter gourd machine spirit copied the puppet, he taught the two how to control the puppet, and the two quickly learned to control the puppet.

Cen Xiaolan and Du Kefeng received the rewards for clearing the customs and were teleported back to the entrance of the Danyao Hall by the bitter gourd machine spirit. At this time, He Guangming happened to go out to look for talents, so he never saw Du Kefeng again.

Seeing that the master never spoke, Cen Xiaolan couldn't help it and asked:

"Master, do you disagree with me being with the Master of the Gate?" she didn't know what Master was thinking, so she had to ask clearly, because this was very important to her.

Cen Xiaolan's questioning interrupted He Guangming's memories.
